Mariah Carey is reassuring fans after she was taken to the hospital Sunday for a dislocated shoulder. On Tuesday, in true diva form, Mariah tweeted a photo of herself striking a glamorous pose on a hospital bed, writing that she would be "sporting a very fashionable sling for the next couple of weeks!"

The injury took place during the video shoot for a remix of "Beautiful," that her husband Nick Cannon was directing at a pizza parlor in New York City. Cannon appeared on the "Today" show Tuesday morning, confirming earlier reports that Mariah "slipped and fell" off a raised platform in a pair of high heels.

He called his wife "such a trouper," saying that the accident was "pretty serious" and that Mariah suffered some additional injuries to one of her ribs and her shoulder bone.
